Brewmaster Garrett Oliver is the source of
inspiration that has taken Brooklyn brewery from it's humble
beginnings in 1987 to a world renowned producer of fine craft ales &
lagers. Brooklyn Lager is wonderful combination of brewing styles. It is
roughly based on a 'Vienna' lager which was brewed widely by immigrants in
the New York area in the late 1800's. Brooklyn have taken this style and
then 'dry hopped' the beer during it's fermentation. Dry hopping is a
technique most associated with British real ales and this combination
creates a refreshing lager beer but with the fruity / flowery aromas and
tastes of a bitter ale.
